Afternoon chores: Get produce from market, pick up girls from school, cook dinner
Dinner: Sheet pan chicken and veggies with canned biscuits.
I hurts to laugh or cough. Torso/ribs feel badly bruised. Applying heat to ease discomfort.
Starting to crave certain foods – that’s good.
Starting to train myself to get back in habit of reading (though at an adaptive mode so as to not cause headache or dizziness). Currently reading: A Life God Rewards Devotional. Scripture references are not KJV so I read them in my own Bible.
Hebrews 6:9-12, 1 Peter 1:6-7
Thankful for:
1. I’m starting to feel better from the bronchitis
2. A couple people called to check on me today
3. Found asparagus on sale. Going to attempt to can some tomorrow.

Tasks: Start weekly bulletin, can rest of asparagus, work on cleaning up kitchen, work on blog post
Attempted to mop part of kitchen floor. Homemade floor cleaner worked, but I could only mop 1/3 of floor before I was in agonizing pain. Had to lay down a bit to rest before going to pick up daughter.
Birthday dinner for Jordon’s spiritual birthday. Joe cooked the steaks. I bought roast and Joe cut it into steaks. I cooked the veggies. Unable to pick up his birthday gift. Had to order it online. Difficulty getting discount to apply. Finally figured out it was only for rewards members. It’ll be here sometime next week. I think he was surprised, but he was hard to read not feeling well.
Jordon ended up getting sick. I feel bad for him. Think he should probably only eat liquids and soft foods for couple days.
Exhausted. Head hurts. Chilling sensation at back of head. Pressure in rt ear like it needs to pop. Neck aches. Back itches. Low back throbbing. Rt hip hurts siatically. Legs ache deeply and throb with tingling. Feet ache and tingling greatly with stinging needle pain. Thirsty. Skin feels dry. Sinuses slightly congested. Inner ears itch.
Forgot to take morning meds. Taking night vitamins plus 1/2 benadryl and Tylenol.

Thankful for:

Matthew 6-7
Song: Remind Me, Dear Lord
Woke stiff and hurting all over. Upper shoulders and back throbbing like I was beat up. Coughing. Sinuses slightly congested. Eyes watery. Randomly hiccups.
800 drop Dezirae and niece off for babysitting. Head to church. Raining in bayou. Working around church. Organize binder H music. Work on figuring out Christmas cantata music.
Head feeling dizzy, lightheaded, and blurry. Need to rest.
Joe ask me about if I can play certain hymns. Remind him I feel like I’m about to pass out. Need to rest. Few more questions then heading home.
Jordon asks for more Sprite and V8. Splash juice. Stop at store. I’m feeling very weak. Joe has to help pull buggy I’m pushing.
Home resting. Passing out quickly. Out for two hours. Feel very weak and tired.
Put ingredients for crescent rolls in bread machine. A little while later we hear a loud crash in kitchen. I discover my bread maker fell and broke. 😭 Did what I could to salvage the dough.
Not hungry. Coughing more. Feel yucky. I think I tried to do too much too soon and I’m relapsing. Hopefully, It’ll turn around by Monday. I need a day to rest.
Matthew 20:26-28, Luke 12:37
Thankful for:
1. Husband that loves me. He made me drink V8 juice with hot sauce to help me get better
2. A friend checked in on me this afternoon. She says she’s going to bring me some soup tomorrow.
